Description
- 5 The present invention relates to a boring tool according to the preamble of
claim 1. An example of such a boring tool is disclosed byJP 3 252996 B2 - Such a boring tool is used for carrying out the machining process of enlarging an already existing hole by means of rotating a tool body provided with one or more cutting inserts. The process is commonly performed in order to achieve accurate dimensions, tight tolerances or a certain surface finish. Typical boring tool bodies are often supplied with a radially adjustable cutting edge that enables a variable cutting diameter as well as the possibility to compensate for wear of the cutting insert.
- Traditionally, the adjustment of the diameter of the hole to be obtained by the boring action is done manually by the machine operator, through e.g. turning an adjustment screw on the tool body. In an environment where productivity is paramount, the manual adjustment procedure for boring tools is considered time consuming and accordingly undesirable. Such an adjustment demands an operator to physically stop the machining operation and contact the boring tool.
- It has for that sake been suggested to adjust said diameter by providing the boring tool with a motor member controllable to move the slider member transversely to the rotation axis of the tool body for changing the distance of the cutting edge of the cutting insert to this rotation axis. "Transversely" is here not to be interpreted as "perpendicularly", although that would in most cases be preferred, but a movability in a direction changing the distance of the cutting edge of the cutting insert to the rotation axis and by that the radius to be created in a hole of a work piece when bored by rotation of the tool body. Providing the boring tool with such a motor member eliminates the need for operators to physically reach into the machine or remove the boring tool from the machine to adjust the tool diameter. This means that the adjustment procedure for a boring tool is considerably faster, more robust and more secure.
-
EP 2 095 897 B1 - The object of the present invention is to provide a boring tool of the type defined in the introduction being improved in at least some aspect with respect to such boring tools already known.
- This object is according to the invention obtained by providing such a boring tool with the features listed in
patent claim 1. - According to the invention the slider member is hollow and the motor member is arranged inside the slider member, which results in a very compact combination of slider member and motor member requiring little space inside the cutting part of the tool body while still obtaining a possibility to carry out big adjustments.
- By arranging the motor member inside the tool body together with the slider member in a cutting part of the tool body at the front end of the tool body and in parallel with the transversal extension of the slider member along said path the arrangement of the motor member and slider member inside the tool body may be very compact while still providing for a possibility of substantial adjustments of the radius to be created in a hole of a work piece when bored by rotation of the tool body. That the motor member is arranged in parallel with said transversal extension means here along and beside this transversal extension and the motor may also have parts coinciding with said path, for instance by an arrangement of the motor member coaxially with respect to a theoretical axis defining said path. Such an arrangement of the motor member with respect to the slider member enables considerable movements of the slider member along said path in spite of the fact that the motor member is arranged inside the tool body and in the cutting part of the tool body.
- According to an embodiment of the invention the slider member is movable by action of the motor member along said path between two end positions corresponding to a said boring radius at the outermost end position exceeding the boring radius at the innermost end position by at least 10%, 10%-60%, 20%-50% or 30%-50%. By providing the possibility to make adjustments of a radius to be created in a hole of a work piece when bored by rotation of the tool body by at least 10% the same boring tool with the same tool body may be used for providing holes with substantially different diameters which makes it possible to save time and by that costs with respect to a need of changing boring tool and/or tool body for each change of diameter of holes to be bored. An adjustability of said boring radius by more than 60% would result in a need of complicated transmissions and/or designs of members connecting the motor member to the slider member making the boring tool less simple and robust.
- According to an embodiment of the invention the control unit comprises a micro controller arranged inside the tool body in said cutting part thereof. The arrangement of the control unit in the cutting part contributes to make the system for obtaining adjustment of the radius to be created in a hole of a workpiece when bored by rotation of the tool body compact.
- According to an embodiment of the invention the micro controller is configured to communicate with a device located externally of the tool body so as to receive set values of boring diameters to be achieved by rotation of the tool body and to control the motor member to move the slider member to positions corresponding thereto. This makes it easy and comfortable to carry out said adjustments by sending orders from said device to the micro controller located inside the tool body through an operator or even automatically through suitable software.
- According to an embodiment of the invention the microcontroller is configured to communicate with a said device by wireless communication. Such communication means may for instance use the Low Energy (LE) Bluetooth protocol for transmission of data from said device to the micro controller. The device may for instance be a PC, a smartphone or a tablet. The wireless communication means facilitates the handling of the boring tool, since no cables connecting a said device with the interior of the tool body have to be considered.
- According to an embodiment of the invention the boring tool comprises an energy storing member, such as an electric battery, arranged inside the tool body and connected to provide electric energy to the function of the micro controller and the motor. This feature means that no cables from an external source of electric power have to be connected to the interior of the tool body, which makes the handling of the boring tool less complicated.
- According to an embodiment of the invention the boring tool further comprises a sensor arranged inside the tool body and configured to sense the position of the slider member with respect to a fixed part of the tool body giving evidence of the position of said slider member along said path and send information about the position sensed to the control unit, and the control unit is configured to compare the value of the position sensed with a position value to be obtained for a boring radius to be set and control the motor member to move the slider member so as to obtain correspondence of these two position values. This enables obtention of high resolutions of adjustments of the radius to be created in a hole of a workpiece when bored by a rotation of the tool body, such as in the order of 0.5 µm or even finer. Thus, having such a sensor measuring the actual position of the slider member along said path enables an increased authenticity and in some cases also an increased accuracy with respect to measuring arrangements being based on measuring the number of turns made by a motor axis causing movement of the slider member.
- According to an embodiment of the invention the motor member is configured to drive a member thereof to rotate or to carry out a linear translation movement so as to move the slider member. These are suitable ways of operation of the motor member.
- According to an embodiment of the invention the motor member is configured to cause movement of the slider member by rotating a threaded member in engagement with a thread of the slider member, of a member arranged to move with the slider member or of a member fixed with respect to the tool body. Such a design of members for obtaining a transmission of movement from the motor member to the slider member will result in a high accuracy by simple means.
- According to an embodiment of the invention the motor member is arranged inside a hollow screw with an external thread in engagement with an inner thread of a member fixed to the slider member, and the motor member is configured to rotate said screw so as to move this and by that the slider member along said path. This constitutes a simple way of realizing a compact arrangement of the motor member and the slider member while providing for said big adjustments.
- Other advantageous features as well as advantages of the present invention appear from the description following below.
- With reference to the appended drawings, below follows a specific description of embodiments of the invention cited as examples.

boring tool 1 according to a first embodiment of the invention is shown inFig 1-3 and reference is made in parallel to these figures when now describing the design of the boring tool. The boring tool has atool body 2 including a front end 3 and arear end 4, between which a central rotation axis C extends around which the tool body is rotatable in a direction of rotation R. Aslider member 5 is arranged movably inside the tool body along a path P (see dashed line inFig 1 ) extending transversely to the rotation axis C while being directed perpendicularly thereto. An insert pocket 6 (seeFig 3 ) is associated with the slider member to move therewith by being arranged on apart 7 secured to theslider member 5 by ascrew 8. The insert pocket is configured to receive acutting insert 9 to be secured therein by a fasteningmember 10. The cutting insert has acutting edge 11 and projects from the tool body transversely to the rotation axis C thereof so as to carry out a boring action on walls of a hole in a workpiece when rotating the tool body around the rotation axis C. - A
motor member 12 in the form of an electric motor is arranged inside the slider member, which is hollow by having acavity 13, in a cuttingpart 14 of the tool body at the front end 3 thereof. Themotor member 12 is configured to rotate anaxle 15 being coaxially arranged with respect to said path P and secured to ahollow screw 16 inside which themotor member 12 is arranged. - The
hollow screw 16 has anexternal thread 17 in engagement with aninternal thread 18 of anut 19 fixed with respect to theslider member 5. Thus, rotation of thehollow screw 16 caused by rotation of theaxle 15 by operation of themotor member 12 will cause theslider member 5 to move in a direction transversely to the axis of rotation C of the tool body by the turning of thehollow screw 16 in thenut 19. The distance of thecutting edge 11 of the cuttinginsert 9 to the rotation axis C and by that the radius to be created in a hole of a workpiece when bored by rotation of the tool body may be adjusted by such movement.Fig 1 shows an innermost end position of the slider member, whileFig 2 shows a nearly outermost end position of the slider member resulting in a said radius exceeding the radius of the tool according toFig 1 by approximately 25 %. - The boring tool also has a control unit in the form of a
micro controller 20 arranged inside the tool body in the cuttingpart 14 thereof, and this micro controller is configured to control the motor member to move the slider member. The micro controller is configured to communicate with thedevice 21, here a laptop, located externally of the tool body so as to receive set values of boring diameters to be achieved by rotation of the tool body and to control the motor member to move the slider member to positions corresponding thereto. Themicro controller 20 is configured to communicate with such an external device, which may also be for example a smartphone or a tablet, by wireless communication means, such as by the Low Energy (LE) Bluetooth protocol. Anelectric battery 22 is arranged inside the tool body and connected to provide electric energy to the function of themicro controller 20 and the motor member and also asensor 23 schematically indicated inFig 2 , arranged inside the tool body and configured to sense the position of theslider member 5 with respect to a fixed part of the tool body giving evidence of the position of the slider member along said path P and send information about the position sensed to themicro controller 20. The micro controller is configured to compare the value of the position sensed with the position value to be obtained for a boring radius to be set in accordance with instructions received from theexternal device 21 and control the motor member to move the slider member so as to obtain correspondence of these two position values. Integration of such asensor 23 measuring the actual position of the slider member makes it possible to get high accuracy also for big boring diameter adjustments of the boring tool. -
